Chapter 1626
A gleam of horror flashed past Julie’s eyes
Before she could say something to distract them, Emerence jabbed a finger at her and proclaimed,” Because she
messed with the brakes!”
Julie stammered as she spoke, “I didn’t’ I didn’t even know there was a problem with the brakes!”
“Hmph Emerence snorted with disdain. “You went running to Madam as soon as you saw Ms. Sherry taking Ms
Caprice with her If it weren’t for you, Madam would not have been as agitated as she was and tried to chase after
Ms. Fowler herself! It was you who orchestrated the entire thing. You tampered with the brake ahead of time!”

Julie protested. “What do you mean I orchestrated the entire thing? How was I supposed to know that Sherry would
take Caprice with her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t know why Ms. Fowler took Ms. Caprice away, but one thing I am sure of is that you were behind it in one
way or another! If I had to guess, you already saw it coming from a mile away. That’s why you told Mia to keep an
eye on Sherry and wait until she made her move so she can go to Madam. You encouraged her to get into the car
and chase after Ms. Fowler, the same car that you tampered with!”
Julie’s eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Emerence and seemed utterly offended by these accusations.
“Aunt Emerence, how are you so sure that I did it? Do you have any proof?”
Emerence frowned.
Julie smirked coyly
That was when another voice suddenly interjected. It was the cold, bitter voice of John. “Bring Mia in here. I’m going
to talk to her.”
They all turned toward the entrance.
Two of the bodyguards promptly brought Mia into the room as soon as the order was given.
Julie shot a look at Mia.
Mia was trembling all over Trickles of cold sweat streamed endlessly down her forehead, and she hardly dared to
look anyone in the eye.
Zip!
One of the men tore the tape off her mouth and grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to face John.
John bore his terrifying presence upon her “What has she been telling you to do all this time?”
Mia’s voice was quivering. “No… no, Ms. Julie has only ever entrusted basic housework to me. She’s never asked
me to do anything else.”
Julie heaved a silent sigh of relief.
However, it was too early for her to relax Immediately after that, John spoke again. He addressed Mia like she was
an entirely inconsequential, insignificant being, “You’re from Glanchester, aren’t you?”
Mia could not tell where this was headed, so she murmured weakly, “Yes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Your parents and relatives live in Glanchester as well.”
Mia was getting nervous now. “Yes.”
John smiled at this point. It was a glacial, terrifying smile and he went on, “I can make their lives hell on
earth if I want to
Mia caught on immediately and grew frantic. She pleaded desperately, “Please don’t do it! Young Master Stockton, I
beg you, don’t involve them in this! They are just common folks!”
John peered into her eyes and assured her, “All I need is for you to be honest and tell me what dirty work Julie had
you do for her, then I promise that I won’t touch your family and relatives Who knows? I might even spare you
entirely if you behave ”
This was a game changer for Mia, and she seemed to consider it.
Julie suddenly cried out, “Mia, I’ve never asked you to do anything for me. Don’t you dare lie-”
“Shut her up,” John cut off her sentence and ordered irritably.
His bodyguards sprung to the task immediately. They held Julie down and slapped duct tape over her mouth the
same way they did to Mia when she entered.
All that came out of Julie’s mouth were desperate, muffled cries. There was a definitive look of horror in her eyes.
